Another very happy customer here! My car wouldn't start one day, and after determining that it wasn't a dead battery, I was dreading the nightmare/cost of having it towed to a shop.
Fortunately, I remembered YourMechanic from when they were working out of the Hacker Dojo. I gave them a call, and a mechanic arrived within 30 minutes. He did an amazing job patiently troubleshooting different components in the engine and electrical system before determining the problem (busted ignition), implementing a temporary fix (new fuse), and helping me understand what we'd have to do for permanent fix.
One particularly awesome thing about my experience was that my mechanic (his name's Whitney, if you ever need to make an appointment) explained everything he was doing each step of the way. I learned more in about 45 minutes than in all my years referencing manuals/forums/friends.
I'd never expected to be delighted by an auto repair/maintenance experience, but these guys proved me wrong. I expect them to do very well.
- orangethirty 14y agoYou think finding good engineers with people skills is hard? Try finding mechanics who can talk to people. Good luck. Whitney is one in a million. Plus, a lot of mechanics out there will go ahead and ask the ladies out with no regard to marital status (either of them).
